I completely agree with grasshopper!  I have been doing this for 3 years (graduated 4 years ago), and I think you just need a medical terminology course.   I am great at what I do and love it.   Still sorry I went to school for it though!  In some cases it's just not nec.    Start with local docs offices.   They are normally willing to train someone who has the "right ear" for it.   Good luck!
girls just wanna have fun; nm

it the place where in wanna put my rod in you!
ha ha
You don't wanna go there. Why would you take minimum wage to
work with the public all day at minimum wage or maybe a little more than minimum wage, leave your family for hours and hours at a time, and use basically none of the skills that you obviously have as an MT.

I find it a bit offensive that you would compare working at Burger King as being a better career than being an MT. I, for one, have worked long and hard on becoming an MT and am learning something new every single day.

Sounds like you need to work for a company who appreciates you and will pay you well. They are out there. You just need to look.
here is some ammo for you (or him) to nailt this wanna be sm

Q. How is a Physician Assistant educated?


A.  Physician assistants are educated in intensive medical programs accredited by the Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant (ARC-PA). The average PA program curriculum runs approximately 26 months. There are currently more than 130 accredited programs.  All PA programs must meet the same ARC-PA standards.

Because of the close working relationship PAs have with physicians, PAs are educated in a medical model designed to complement physician training.  PA students are taught, as are medical students, to diagnose and treat medical problems.

Education consists of classroom and laboratory instruction in the basic medical and behavioral sciences (such as anatomy, pharmacology, pathophysiology, clinical medicine, and physical diagnosis), followed by clinical rotations in internal medicine, family medicine, surgery, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, emergency medicine, and geriatric medicine.

A PA's education doesn't stop after graduation, though.  PAs are required to take ongoing continuing medical education classes and be retested on their clinical skills on a regular basis.  A number of postgraduate PA programs have also been established to provide practicing PAs with advanced education in medical specialties.

Q. What are the prerequisites for applying to a PA program?

A.  PA programs look for students who have a desire to study, work hard, and to be of service to their community.  Most physician assistant programs require applicants to have previous health care experienceand some college education. The typical applicant already has a bachelor's degree and approximately 4 years of health care experience. Commonly nurses, EMTs, and paramedics apply to PA programs. Check with PA educational programs of interest to you for a list of their prerequisites.


and now a word about medical assistants..what nerve thinking you are  PA when you have not been trained...sheesh

Training, Other Qualifications, and Advancement[About this section]Back Back to Top


Most employers prefer graduates of formal programs in medical assisting. Such programs are offered in vocational-technical high schools, postsecondary vocational schools, and community and junior colleges. Postsecondary programs usually last either 1 year, resulting in a certificate or diploma, or 2 years, resulting in an associate degree. Courses cover anatomy, physiology, and medical terminology, as well as typing, transcription, recordkeeping, accounting, and insurance processing. Students learn laboratory techniques, clinical and diagnostic procedures, pharmaceutical principles, the administration of medications, and first aid. They study office practices, patient relations, medical law, and ethics. Accredited programs include an internship that provides practical experience in physicians’ offices, hospitals, or other health care facilities.


Both the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) and the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES) accredit programs in medical assisting. In 2005, there were over 500 medical assisting programs accredited by CAAHEP and about 170 accredited by ABHES. The Committee on Accreditation for Ophthalmic Medical Personnel approved 17 programs in ophthalmic medical assisting and 2 programs in ophthalmic clinical assisting.


Formal training in medical assisting, while generally preferred, is not always required. Some medical assistants are trained on the job, although this practice is less common than in the past. Applicants usually need a high school diploma or the equivalent. Recommended high school courses include mathematics, health, biology, typing, bookkeeping, computers, and office skills. Volunteer experience in the health care field also is helpful.


Although medical assistants are not licensed, some States require them to take a test or a course before they can perform certain tasks, such as taking x rays or giving injections.


Employers prefer to hire experienced workers or certified applicants who have passed a national examination, indicating that the medical assistant meets certain standards of competence. The American Association of Medical Assistants awards the Certified Medical Assistant credential; American Medical Technologists awards the Registered Medical Assistant credential; the American Society of Podiatric Medical Assistants awards the Podiatric Medical Assistant, Certified credential; and the Joint Commission on Allied Health Personnel in Ophthalmology awards credentials at three levels: Certified Ophthalmic Assistant; Certified Ophthalmic Technician; and Certified Ophthalmic Medical Technologist.


Medical assistants deal with the public; therefore, they must be neat and well groomed and have a courteous, pleasant manner. Medical assistants must be able to put patients at ease and explain physicians’ instructions. They must respect the confidential nature of medical information. Clinical duties require a reasonable level of manual dexterity and visual acuity.


Medical assistants may be able to advance to office manager. They may qualify for a variety of administrative support occupations or may teach medical assisting. With additional education, some enter other health occupations, such as nursing and medical technology.










Employment [About this section] Back Back to Top


Medical assistants held about 387,000 jobs in 2004. About 6 out of 10 worked in offices of physicians; about 14 percent worked in public and private hospitals, including inpatient and outpatient facilities; and 11 percent worked in offices of other health practitioners, such as chiropractors, optometrists, and podiatrists. The rest worked mostly in outpatient care centers, public and private educational services, other ambulatory health care services, State and local government agencies, employment services, medical and diagnostic laboratories, and nursing care facilities.


 


Wanna' simplify your life??

Go on the Atkins diet, and I'm sure your PCP will okay this. You'll lose weight like crazy and your cholesterol will take a major nose dive. 


Do yourself a favor - go by the book and read it - then go on the eating plan.  You'll be happy you did, and the energy you get will be enormous.


Sign me ------> a person who never met a diet she liked until she went on Atkins and liked the results even better! 


Wanna tell that to the local hospital MTs whose....sm
...staff was just decreased because EHR came to town? They were told only a few would be staying now because even in the hospital most reports could be handled by EHR. I think you need to reserve your opinion till we really find out what O has in mind for this field.
Well... I had a Frank Sinatra wanna be
He sang an entire appendectomy to me. Sounded a lot like that manta ray instructor in "Finding Nemo". Don't know if he was drunk (he was in the OR and yelling questions at the staff intermittently as he sang).
You just wanna fight about it. Did you read the post?

Wanna a little advice? I've been at this for 10+ years and no offense, but I think you outta get an
I may be way off base here, but you've posted like 6 posts. One says your bored, one says you'd get more done if you'd stop watching TV and surfing the net, and one says you can't get motivated to work in the early morning hours.

And since you say you are a "new to work at home MT", I think maybe you lack the organization skills, motivation, and dedication it takes to be a successful work-at-home MT.

This is just some friendly advice. I am one of those people and after working at home for about 5 years and barely making ends meet, I recognized my weaknesses and took at job back in the office.

Guess what? I am posting this from my work. I am halfway through my shift, I have met my quota and earned incentive, and still have time to post this. Plus, I can still earn a little more incentive before the night is through.

Just a suggestion...
that sounds good - wanna share the recipe?
x
More ghetto wanna be slang a'la the MTV mindset I guess
Sounds intelligent doesn't it?
Whatcha wanna bet these not so long lived jobs are the same few companies?
:P
I hope this applies to companies like Medquist. I hope there
isn't a way they can get around it. I REALLY hope.
YOU ARE DEAD ON ABOUT OSi
The lunatic department head you are talking about is the reason I left that department AND OSi once she finally got her pie in the sky promotion and knocked a bunch of much more qualified people down along the way.

Imagine being the best at your job and being usurped by someone on a power trip whose main goal is to try to convince everyone how great she is because she basically doesn't know what the hell she is doing.

I know how to do my job and don't need some hick micromanaging me and breathing down my neck all the time.

If she were knowledgeable, she would organize her department with enough people to make it function properly, then leave them alone and let them do her job.

She is the biggest joke of a "manager" I have ever seen.

Good riddance, OSi!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He can't be dead......
Maybe Uncle June's gonna get on the phone with 9-1-1 and maybe give him mouth to mouth??? haha. Will be interesting to see how they're going to explain that next episode...he was pretty much gone there! And if it's another panic attack and he passed out and dreamed it AGAIN, not watching it anymore. Love the show, but those dreams, like the one in the beginning where Carmella was chatting with dead *Aide* are getting a little old...don't ya think???
Can't be dead.....
I agree with you about the dream gimmick - worn out.

However, there is a theory out there that this episode is actually the last episode of the series and that the 19 more that are to come - 11 this year and then 8 next year - will show us how all these situations evolved.
Dead End...not well-known, had
never heard of it before, but it is a good ol' suspense, kind of frightening movie with a weird ending.  Would watch it again if they would play it again. 
He's not dead, if that's what you mean. ..
n
now they say 130 are dead

and 300 injured due to terrorist attacks.  I hope and pray they catch the ones responsible.  Those poor people. 



I am dead serious.
I am sick of being treated like a third class citizen whle so other bozo is making tons of money off my work. Let's unite!!! Why do we need them, we can do this on our own!!??
Dead right! sm
For one of my graduate classes in Competitive Intelligence, I ran an operation against a private security company, starting with nothing but the name of the company.

Before I was through, I had discovered (strictly from public sources) that the CEO of this private security company was also on the board of a Saudi Arabian company, of which other board members were on the "watch" list of Homeland Security.

I knew where this company did its banking and about two significant loans it had defaulted on. I knew that one of the corporate executives, a male, had changed his last name just after arrest reports were recorded in the same county for an individual with the same "old" name (which was quite an unusual name).

I knew this and many, many "inside" details about the company's internal operations.

...starting with nothing but the name of the company.

What's in a resume? Your name, your address, your phone number, where you attended high school/college, former employers and perhaps other information about your hobbies, etc. Give me your resume, and I guarantee you I'll wind up with your SS#.


you know you are in a dead-end job when.....
you cannot get any type of pay increase after 2 years....sigh.....not surprised but it just depresses me.  This is not a good way to start the new year.  I am finding it hard to stay motivated.  Ok, thanks for letting me get that off my chest.
I'm an MT; I know what a dead end job is! LOL. n/m

Drop dead.

that's dead on the money

I have version 3 of Instant Text and used that to create phrase files of 4 words or more and then imported them into the different medical modules that I have. Between that and running the Accuracy Center every couple of months, I was able to get my accuracy to almost 100%, as long as I dictate the way I'm supposed to and the words are in the dictionary.


DH went out shopping later in day and said it was dead.

I keep thinking he's not dead, just (sm)
maybe in a coma for the whole season or something.  Don't know if I can get my "fix" of the Sopranos if he's gone.
Top 10 dead end jobs....

Article in CareerBuilders


This was one of a few clerical positions that were listed as the tope 10 dead end jobs.  I really am thinking of doing something else now.


Word Processors and Data-Entry Keyers
This sector of workers is expected to decline due to the proliferation of personal computers. Employment growth of data entry keyers will still be dampened by productivity gains, as various data-capturing technologies, such as bar code scanners, voice recognition technologies and sophisticated character recognition readers become more prevalent. In addition, employment of these workers will be adversely affected by businesses that are increasingly contracting out their work.


top 10 dead end jobs
Koudos to you!!! any person who is burnedout in any job should persue another avenue!  I think it is great that you have taken that step to better your life and pursue happiness.  It takes great courage to leave a comfortable situation and start a new path.
It's "keel" over dead,,,,,

Except he is dead and can't talk.

Nope -- He was dead serious.
I don't think so. He was dead serious saying there were new contacts available approved for 24-7 wear. This was when I first walked in -- did not even begin the exam. He wasn't smiling or saying it in a joking way at all. That alone made me uneasy. He seemed -- not all there if you know what I mean. And the longer I was there the more I felt that way. Also I should mention he tested both eyes together not right and then left and I have never not had my eyes checked individually. I know my right eye is a different prescription than my left. Also, I went to Sears for glasses prior and they always use that machine to measure the distance of pupils to make the glasses -- this wasn't done either. All round it was a horrible experience. There was another woman there complaining of these same things only she paid over $300.00 and they were refusing to give her a refund as well. Why should we be forced to pay for eye wear we cannot see out of? I will never return there again -- still intent to fight for the rest of my money though! Stay away, far, far, away from this place.
There would be nine dead dogs if this happened to me.
Really.  Sad to say but I would find some way to eliminate these dogs if no one is willing to do anything.  They are a health hazzard and a nuisance at this point. 
There would be two dead pit bulls in my neighborhood
If this happened to me.  What if this was a child.  I can't believe no one does anything about this in your community. 
yeah but mr. ed is dead from head to toe.
whereas your ex-husband could still be of some service on a desert island, no?
dead town-ban WM stores
A little over 20  years ago WM opened in our town even though they had a Howard's at that time and put them out of business.  Our nice town also had a sporting goods store, fabric store, several pharmacies, several local clothing stores and pool supply place.  The only one that survived were the pharmacies.  WM moved out a little over a year ago.  Now we have to go 30 miles to find anything that we can't find in a dollar store.  Not only do we have a big empty building that they left, now we will have another empty building that a chain grocery store is leaving because WM built super stores in the surrounding towns that use to shop in our nice little town.  I suspect it will take years, if ever, to recover.  Our only hope is that we have good leadership in our community.
dead brain regarding digital!

Trying to switch all my clients to digital, but first I need some help with it!  Using the free ES wav player.  One of the drs are going to email me the files and the other is going to use a FTP site.  I dont know the first thing about transcribing files "digitally"  Any instructions would be really appreciated!

No good dead goes unpunished...

If you are unhappy - leave, but I have honesty never heard of someone complaining about a Christmas gift.

Unbelievable
Ok, now they're saying the kid isn't dead. This story gets
